28 As for the rest of the affairs of Jer·o·boʹam and all that he did and his mightiness, how he fought and how he restored Damascus+ and Haʹmath+ to Judah in Israel, are they not written in the book of the affairs of the days of the kings of Israel?

5 Consequently Jehovah his God gave him into the hand+ of the king of Syria,+ so that they struck him and carried off from him a great number of captives and brought them to Damascus.+ And also into the hand of the king of Israel+ he was given, so that he struck him with a great slaughter.

6 “Let us go up against Judah and tear it apart and by breakthroughs take it for ourselves; and let us make another king reign inside it, the son of Tabʹe·el.”+
